Easy example of connotation and annotation

Connotation is the use of a word to suggest a different association than its literal meaning, which is known as denotation. For example, blue is a color, but it is also a word used to describe a feeling of sadness, as in: "She's feeling blue." Connotations can be either positive, negative, or neutral.
